The Warship Gabby Giffords WTF

Sigh

Yoo Hoo! Ahoy There!


Homer Simpson–  “Hey, do we get to land on an aircraft carrier?”

Helicopter Pilot– “No, sir.  The closest vessel is the U.S.S. Walter Mondale; it’s a laundry ship.  They’ll take you the rest of the way.”

In a daring daytime operation, apparent domestic terrorists have lured US Navy Capt. Joseph Tuite, Supervisor of Shipbuilding (SUPSHIP) Gulf Coast into a local Denny's where they are holding him hostage with unlimited coffee refills and complimentary Moons over My Hammy.

 Captain Tuite is a mission critical asset to the official keel laying ceremony for the USS Gabrielle Giffords. 

Reacting swiftly, the Obama administration awarded the now POW Captain Tuite with the Silver Star and announced that Vice President Biden is ready to negotiate for the Captain's release.  [satire by Rational Gun]

I breakfast here on the quarterdeck of the USS Gob Smacked, and wonder at the silliness of naming a warship after a anti-military Democrat congressperson, to honor her for being wounded  by a kindred spirited " left wing political radical" gunman, Jared Loughner.   Where are Monty Python when you need them?

Next time we want to name a ship after someone, lets just give it to the girl with the biggest tits. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwAOc4g3K-g

Speaking of laying keels, there's that fat nuclear garbage scow, USS Al Sharpton.

They were going to berth it with the USS Harvey Milk and the USS Teddy Kennedy but The crew of the Milk don't like ANYTHING female and the skipper of the TK drunkenly yelled 'BERTH? HERE? Never! ABORT ABORT!'

When they named the USS John Murtha, I wrote to all three of my congress critters to complain. They all said that they always deferred to the Secretary of the Navy and wouldn't even bother to try to do anything.

Wow! Your congress critters actually responded with something that gave an inkling that someone had read past the return address on your letters, CDR J? I'm impressed. What State/District are you from?

Reminds me of the USS Abscam, umm, USS John P, Murtha, a troop transport ship for Marines.
